INFORMATION

It is recommended this unit be renewed every 24 months in line
with industry standards. Locate the most current training package at training.gov.au

Our
obligation to you

We are required to provide clear evidence
to enable you to decide if this course is suitable for you. This course teaches
the skills and knowledge
required to work with basic information about the human body and to recognise
and promote ways to maintain healthy functioning of the body. It applies to any
worker who needs to use and interpret information that includes references to
client anatomy and physiology.

Allens Training
Pty Ltd RTO 90909 is responsible for the quality of the
training and assessment and will be issuing the statement of attainment for
this unit even if the training is provided by an authorised third party.

Choosing
a training or education provider

The Australian Skills Quality Authority
(ASQA) has developed a fact sheet to allow you to be fully informed about your
decision to enroll in a course of study. We recommend reading this information
prior to enrolling. It
is available by clicking here.

Are
there physical requirements for this course?

It is important to note that there are physical
standards which relate to the level of performance required when undertaking
accredited training. There can be no exceptions to these Australian Government
requirements that are clearly written into the Training Package. Therefore,
students who are unable to satisfy the physical requirements of the course
cannot be deemed competent or issued with a statement of attainment, even if
the qualification is a necessary part of their employment conditions.

The Training Package for this unit requires
a student to be physically able to work effectively with information about the
human body and its healthy functioning.

Resources that will be available for this course

Workplace or simulated work environment for
face-to-face

Technology to play back video if required

Use of suitable facilities, equipment and
resources, including client health information

Allens Training Pty Ltd is required to
determine the amount of training they provide to each student, with regard to
the existing skills, knowledge and experience of the student. This is achieved
by identifying the cohort category or the student undertaking the proposed
training and also the mode/s of delivery being provided. Skill levels will vary
in relation to the type of student or ‘cohort’.

2. Students with previous training and/or
experience similar to this course

Initial
training and modes of delivery (students new to the training)

Initial
training is intended for students who have no prior training or experience. For
example, job seekers, school leavers, those wanting a change in career etc. Students attending a course for the first time can complete the
course in 2 ways. Either by undertaking
pre-course study - referred to as unsupervised learning, and then attending a
trainer led face to face course (mixed mode) or by attending a longer period of
training (face to face).

Where the student cohort consists of new
entrants or inexperienced workers, we ensure that we give them the opportunity
to fully absorb the required knowledge and to develop skills over time in the
different contexts they would experience in the workplace.

This may require a longer time-frame than
for those students with significant training/industry experience.

The shorter refresher course may be
appropriate for workers or students experienced in the industry or with
previous training. This might be those
who have been in the industry for some time (e.g. well practiced skills), those
who have previously completed this course or similar, and those returning for
workplace or industry requirements and to refresh their skills etc.

Meaning the student cohort for a refresher
course is comprised of students who have previously attained experience in the
required skills/knowledge.

It’s important to identify those students
who are confident and are returning for recertification. It’s about recognising their
pre-existing knowledge and skills. Therefore, upon enrolment, a refresher
student can supply evidence of previous certification and therefore will be
given the option of completing optional unsupervised pre-course study to
refresh their knowledge and the complete a face to face training session with a
trainer (mixed mode or express mode).

Recertification/refresher training is a
competency confirmation event that includes training, the purpose of which is
to compensate for or prevent deterioration in a previously achieved standard of
performance.

Course
times

Pre-course study

If there is pre-course
study for the course, it is found in the student portal. Students must have
access to a computer, phone, tablet etc. with access to the internet to
complete the pre-course study online.

What does competency-based training actually mean?

A competency-based training
environment is centered on demonstrated competence against industry-defined
standards of performance. Competency-based training is the concept that
individuals learn at different rates as well as through different modes and
different environments and that the skills and knowledge that a student has
acquired previously are able to be formally recognised.

Amount of training and the AQF volume of learning

The AQF Volume of Learning describes how
long a student, who does not hold any competencies identified in the qualification,
would normally take to develop all of the required skills and knowledge at that
qualification level. The amount of training comprises the formal learning
activities that are provided to a student to enable them to meet the
requirements of each training product and gain the skills and knowledge
specified in the relevant training product.

Exceptions for duration of the course

Course durations are reflective of group sizes of between 4 and 15 students. If there are less students in a group, you may find course duration reduced by a maximum of 10%. If a class size exceeds 15 students, it may therefore also be necessary to increase course duration depending on the number of students.

Recognition or any prior learning or previous courses

Upon enrolment, you are given the opportunity to upload your previous certificate and based on that evidence, the course can be modified based on your previous knowledge. There is a currency requirement to be able to demonstrate skills such as recognising healthy body systems.

We need to identify any support you require to complete this course

Upon enrolment, we will give you an opportunity to provide information on your language, literacy and numeracy skills to complete this course. There is also the opportunity to provide details and communicate any special needs or support requirements you may have. Assistance can be sought from our student support officer at Allens Training Pty Ltd by phoning 1300 559 064. We provide equitable access to all required educational and support services, so that no student is disadvantaged to be able to enroll into this course regardless of their mode of study or location. Students can organise to meet with their trainer on a one-to-one basis for additional support, plus email and phone contact.

Unique Student Identifier (USI)

Completing any vocational education course in Australia, it is a requirement for you to obtain and supply a USI. This is obtainable from usi.gov.au If a USI is not supplied and verified with usi.gov.au a certificate cannot be issued to you.

This course may be delivered by way of partnership arrangements with your local trainer. The course fee will be paid direct to the trainer (the partner organisation). This course is usually arranged by the employer of a workgroup and the employer can be invoiced for the training. If the employer does not arrange the training, or the employer does not agree to fund the training, training fees must be paid by the individual student direct to the trainer.

All partners of Allens Training Pty Ltd will be required to meet minimum resource and facility requirements and course fees are available at the time of enrolment. Course fees will be communicated to you prior to enrolment.

Funding and work placement arrangements

There are no funding or work placements associated with this course.

Foundation skills required

Foundation skills are the underpinning communication skills required for participation in the workplace, the community and in adult education and training.

Learning – to learn to recognise healthy body systems

Reading – in order to read and understand forms and to make accurate reports

Reasonable adjustment refers to flexibility in assessment approaches to account for individual learning needs, while still adhering to the assessment requirements of the relevant training package or VET accredited course. Whilst reasonable adjustments can be made in terms of the way in which evidence of performance is gathered, the evidence criteria for making competent/not yet competent decisions should not be altered in any way. If a student meets essential entry requirements, the RTO must endeavour to make ‘reasonable adjustments’ necessary for them to complete their course work or demonstrate competency.

This may include adjusting the physical environment, student learning materials or the manner that a theory test is completed. In most situations, a student with a disability will be able to tell the RTO what he or she needs to be able to study. If necessary, the RTO should also seek advice from disability areas within government departments or organisations that represent or provide services to people with a disability.

Adjustments may include:

Modifying educational premises. For example, making ramps, modifying toilets and ensuring that classes are in rooms accessible to the person with a disability.

Changing assessment procedures. For example, allowing for alternative examination methods such as oral exams, or allowing additional time for someone else to write an exam for a person with a disability.

Changing course delivery. For example, providing study notes or research materials in different formats or providing a sign language interpreter for a person who is hearing impaired.

Please note that in some Training Packages, first aid and CPR training for example, there are mandatory skills that cannot be modified as a reasonable adjustment. The student is required to complete 2 minutes of adult CPR on a manikin on the floor. There is no room for reasonable adjustment as it is stated as what is required in the Training Package.

ASSESSMENT – THEORY

Question paper detailing the knowledge requirements of the course such as:

Basic structure and functions of the body systems and associated components

Processes, conditions and resources required by the body to support healthy functioning

Body regulation including:

- Maintenance of body temperature

- Fluid and electrolyte (including PH) balance

- Elimination of wastes from the body

- Maintenance of blood pressure

Protection from infection

Physical activity active and passive

ASSESSMENT – PRACTICAL

Physical demonstrations (skills)

The simulated assessment environments will reflect the real-life working environment where these skills and knowledge would be performed, with all the relevant equipment and resources of that working environment. Skills must be demonstrated by the student working individually in an environment that provides realistic in-depth, industry-validated scenarios and simulations to assess students’ skills and knowledge.

It’s important that students have knowledge of the content of this course. The assessable practical skills are listed below.

You will be assessed scenario and task demonstrations to work effectively with information about the human body and its healthy functioning:

Knowledge of the basic structure and functions of the major body systems

There are no prerequisite, entry, work-placement, licensing or certification requirements for this course.
